Nursing homes across Morris County, New Jersey, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Cheshire Home runs 35 certified beds in Florham Park under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing number is the first thing that stands out: 7.73 nurse hours per resident day, roughly double the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about, but the base is high enough that even the dip stays well above typical. Staff turnover sits at 28.1%, meaningfully below the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Fifteen deficiencies appear on the current record with none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related and worth reading directly. Morris County families comparing options should note the inspection was recent, January 2026.
Morristown Post Acute Rehab and Nursing Center runs 287 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its numbers tell a fairly steady story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.82 hours per resident day, a hair under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 11% lighter than weekdays, the kind of dip that matters if your family visits or needs help on a Saturday. Turnover is the standout: 26% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning far fewer caregivers cycling through than at a typical home. The 28 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was June 2025.
Merry Heart runs leaner than the typical American nursing home, 3.71 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, with staffing dropping about 11% below its own weekday level. Turnover is where it stands apart: 28.7% versus 45.8% nationally, meaning the people showing up are more likely to still be there next year. Its 12 deficiencies include one tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection came in January 2025. Forty-five minutes from now, that mix of steady staff and a recent, mostly clean survey is the real story here.
The Oaks at Denville runs a nonprofit home in Morris County with 84 beds, and its staffing is the standout fact here: 5.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, with a perfect staffing star rating to match. Turnover sits at 43.6%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and weekend coverage dips only about 6% below weekdays, which is a fairly modest drop. What pulls the record down is inspections, a 3-out-of-5 rating and 24 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level, from a survey completed January 31, 2025. No abuse-related citations appear. Strong hands-on care, a longer paper trail of problems.
Careone At Madison Avenue runs 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 21% against a national 45.8%, that retention is unusual and matters more than most families realize. The catch is weekends, when staffing drops roughly 7% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly steady across the week. Its last health inspection came in April 2025 and produced 21 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, which is the difference between paperwork problems and resident safety problems. Quality measures score high, though the inspection record suggests the home doesn't always hit that mark.
Livia Health and Senior Living runs about 4.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 38.5% actually beats the national 45.8%, meaning workers here tend to stick around longer than at the typical home. The catch is what inspectors have logged. Sixteen deficiencies sit on the current record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one tied to abuse, and a $24,850 fine. CMS gives it strong marks for quality measures and inspections, but that paperwork tells a different story than the staffing numbers alone. Weekend coverage also dips about 6% below weekday levels, so the care you see on a Tuesday may not match a Saturday.
Dwelling Place at St. Clare's runs 28 beds in Dover, and the staffing is genuinely heavy, 5.93 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national figure. That kind of coverage matters more at a small home, where one aide calling out changes the whole shift, though weekend hours do dip about 10% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 17.1% against a national 45.8%, which usually signals people stay, and six deficiencies on record with none at harm or jeopardy level backs that up. The last inspection was April 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures score well; staffing stars land lower than the raw hours suggest, likely a case-mix or RN mix issue.
Chatham Hills runs about 3.43 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends dip another 5% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The good news is turnover: 40.7%, better than the national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier crew than many for-profit peers. State inspectors have logged 23 deficiencies, none causing harm or jeopardy, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent visit was November 2025. Quality measures score well; the health inspection and staffing ratings sit in the middle. The numbers point to a home that's adequate but stretched on direct care hours.
Troy Hills Center runs 130 beds in Parsippany under corporate ownership, and its last inspection was in late November 2024. The numbers split sharply. State inspectors have cited 43 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and three tied to abuse, that's a 1-out-of-5 inspection record, and it's the weakest part of this home's file. On the other side, staff turnover sits at 36.8%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people who work here tend to stay. What to weigh: a strong quality-measure score and stable workforce against a thin inspection history and nurse staffing at 3.39 hours per resident day, about 12% below the national average, with weekends running roughly 7% lighter than weekdays.
Careone At Hanover Township runs 3.85 nurse hours per resident day, which lands right at the national average of 3.86, respectable staffing on paper, though weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday levels. The 22.4% turnover rate is genuinely low against a 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Where this home struggles is inspections: a 2/5 health inspection rating, 19 deficiencies on the current record, five of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, plus an abuse-related finding and $59,832 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was April 2025. Strong staffing and turnover, uneven care quality, worth asking about those harm-level deficiencies directly.
Excel Care At Dover runs 155 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 4% below its own weekday levels. Turnover lands at 43.7%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, but that's where the good news mostly stops. The inspection record shows 36 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, plus a single $139,113 fine. Its last inspection was May 2024. The quality measure score looks strong on paper, yet the staffing and inspection picture is what a family should weigh hardest here.
Careone at Parsippany runs on fewer nursing hours than most homes, about 3.14 per resident per day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 10% below what the building staffs during the week. What stands out in the other direction is retention: turnover sits at 16.7%, well under the national figure of about 46%, so the aides and nurses you'd meet are more likely to still be there next year. Twenty deficiencies appear on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was in December 2025. The quality measure stars look strong; the staffing and inspection scores are middling.
Lincoln Park Care Center runs 547 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, with weekends about 10% thinner than weekdays. Turnover at 43.6% is slightly better than the national 45.8%, so retention isn't the problem here; volume is. The bigger concern is the inspection record: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 30 deficiencies including one at the harm level, and a $21,645 fine, with the most recent inspection in December 2025. Quality measures also come in at 1 out of 5. For a building this size, those numbers are worth asking about directly before you decide.
Heath Village runs a solid non-profit home in Hackettstown. The numbers that stand out most are the ones that don't match: nurse staffing sits at 4.72 hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average, yet annual turnover hits 97.2% against a national norm near 46%. That means the care hours are there, but the people delivering them are cycling through fast, weekend coverage also dips about 8% below weekday levels. On paper, inspections look clean: 11 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent survey was in March 2026. The quality measure rating sits at 3 out of 5, softer than staffing and inspection scores. If consistency of caregivers matters to your family, ask how they hold onto aides.
Holly Manor runs leaner on nursing hours than most homes, about 3.17 per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage. That staffing shortfall is why CMS gives it only 2 of 5 stars on both staffing and health inspections, even though its quality measure score sits at the top of the scale. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. Turnover at 38.6% actually beats the national rate, and the most recent inspection was in February 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale.
Fallsview runs 117 beds in Boonton under for-profit LLC ownership, and its overall nurse staffing of 3.85 hours per resident day sits essentially even with the national average of 3.86, but that average hides a gap, since weekends run about 13% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover is 55.2% against a national 45.8%, so aides and nurses cycle through faster than usual. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a single fine of $159,660. Quality measures score well, but two stars on health inspections and two on staffing tell you where the trouble is.
Florham Park Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 53 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the nurse staffing number is genuinely strong, 4.73 hours per resident day, roughly 23% above the national average. That's the kind of coverage that shows up in daily care.
Two things pull against it. Weekend staffing drops about 12% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 50%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure. High turnover means new faces on the floor more often than families might expect.
On paper the record is clean: three deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and a recent March 2026 inspection. CMS rates health inspections and quality measures at 5 stars each.
Lincoln Park Renaissance runs 189 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits about 8% under the national average at 3.56 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop roughly another 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover lands at 49.1%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 30 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related citation is worth asking about directly, since it's the kind of finding that speaks to supervision rather than paperwork. A February 2026 inspection means the record is current. Quality measures score well, but the staffing star tells the more useful story for daily care.
Pine Acres runs lean on nursing hours, 3.79 per resident day, a bit under the national average, and the gap widens on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 13% below its own weekday level. That staffing picture is the weak spot here, and the 58.8% annual turnover rate, well above the national 45.8%, tells you keeping caregivers is an ongoing problem. The good news is the care itself: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, a clean record of 12 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and a recent January 2026 inspection. Quality measures score 5 out of 5. The staffing is the thing to ask about directly, particularly who's on the floor on Saturdays and Sundays.
Morris View runs 313 beds in Morristown under individual for-profit ownership, and its 47 deficiencies, six at the harm or jeopardy level, seven tied to abuse, are the number a family should sit with. Federal fines total $351,182 across three actions, and the most recent inspection came at the end of January 2026. Nurse staffing sits at 3.61 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, and weekends drop about 13% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 41.7% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measure score is strong, but inspection history and weekend staffing are where the risk concentrates.
